I think there are something like 50 million iPods out there, so I guess everyone has one!!

It's becoming more common than a toaster.

Because you can make good profits?

Because it is fun to make them? Because it is fun to make a product that gets the best reviews and makes people happy in their listening experience?

As a part of using my Headroom Millett in the office now I found myself in need of a couple mini/rca cables. Since they'll never be seen I didn't bother with niceties like techflex but nonetheless I'm still pretty pleased with how they came out. Components are Neutrik mini plugs, canare L-4E6S mic cable and canare F-09 RCAs. Total construction time for both was around 1:30 so I call them my quick and dirty cables

i am not the only one to talk about it, just added my opinion

Thanks for all the positive comments guys, it is really appreciated.

Just wanted to ask a question as well. Going to buy some SPC off eBay, but just curious what gauge everyone uses for interconnects and rewires? I know this is mentioned throughout this thread, but I wanted to get an up to date answer. Thanks.

I like the contrast.
Had some advise on the shooting and that gets better as well I would say.
Enjoy.

Hans.

The no-holes-barred mini-mini.

Here are my first two cables! On the first one, the nylon sleeving got a little messed up around the connectors, and I'm not sure what to do with it. For now, I'll just leave it like it is. The 2nd one was much smoother, I knew exactly what to do. I finished it faster, soldered better, didn't mangle the sleeving, and I think it looks/sounds decent.

Oh, and excuse the terrible photos, I was feeling really lazy when I took them.

Anyways, here's the first one.

The 2nd one... (blurry)

Both,

trim the loose strands then shrink adhesive lined boots over it. or epoxy the ends and shrink a boot.

 

[hembergler]

I was thinking of doing that, but I bought the wrong size of heat shrink.

Maybe I can order some the next time I need parts, or pick some up at a local Ratshack

I just made a 12' instrument cable

I like how this one came out. The connectors fit perfectly under the nylon sleeving, and it seems to work decently. There is a bit of hiss though, anyway to improve this? The ground seems like it's connected the best it can be connected. Of course, it could just be the amp/guitar, too.
